Like father like son in ‘Daddy’s Home 2’

Mel Gibson plays Kurt, the alpha male father of Mark Wahlberg’s character, in Paramount Pictures’ comedy sequel, “Daddy’s Home 2”—and it is definitely something to see.

In 2015’s Daddy’s Home, audiences saw sensitive stepdad Brad (Will Ferrell) go to war with bad ass biological dad Dusty (Wahlberg) for the affections of Dylan, Megan and their mother Sara (Linda Cardellini). Since then, Brad and Dusty have put aside their differences and settled into a working relationship as “co-dads,” but their lives are thrown into chaos with the holiday arrival of their own fathers: over nurturing Don (John Lithgow) and tough-as-nails Kurt (Gibson).
